Thursday 8 July Well we are in the Narrows, at Black Swan Island, it is raining steadily and it is damn cold, and we are 10NM from the Tropic of Capricorn. IT IS NOT RIGHT. We are sitting in the cabin with jumpers, long pants, and a blanket over our knees. This morning in full wet weather gear Andrew went to retrieve the crab pots. Only got one the other was on the wrong side of a mudbank until the next high tide. But it was a good pot, three mud crabs. One was a young lady so she went back in the water but the other two are lunch, fresh mud crab for lunch yum yum. Tomorrow we will get up early to cross the shallowest part of the Narrows at high tide (0700) – if we don’t freeze solid before then! We will then wait in Pacific Creek until the breeze drops.
